The Avataṃsaka Sūtra occupies a very high position in Chinese Buddhism and is often regarded as a representative scripture that expounds the Buddha's realm of awakening and the extensive practice of bodhisattvas. Its contents include the adornment of the dharmadhātu by Vairocana Buddha, the stages and vows of bodhisattvas, and the narrative of Sudhana's sequential visits to spiritual teachers in search of the Dharma. Huayan thought is often understood through the view of the interconnected, ever-expanding interdependence of the dharmadhātu.
